Chapter 11 "Gem??" I exclaimed in surprise. ZACH'S POV After dressing, I left the house without telling my mum goodbye. I got to my car and got in. After sitting in the driver's seat, I took out my phone from the back pocket of my black pants so I could call Gem and let her know I was already on my way. "Shit," I swore out loud. I had missed Gracie's calls, and I was sure she would be waiting for me. "I'm just a jerk," I said to myself, hitting my forehead with my palm. I quickly texted Anelle. Hey, I won't be able to pick up Gracie. Please let her know thank you. I didn't text Gracie because I knew she would be very disappointed. I'm sure she had been waiting for a long time because her first call was around 7:30 AM, and it was already 9:30 AM. When I was about to call Gem, Anelle's text popped up at the top screen of my phone, and it read: "Sure, Bas and I will pick her up since you have chosen to be a disappointment" I smiled unconsciously after readin

Chapter 13 GRACIE'S POV "What the fuck was that all about?" The unknown number belonged to Gem. I had not saved Gem's number yet, but I knew it by heart. I didn't reply to her because I was still angry about the fact that she didn't call me when she was leaving for school. I picked up my bag to get some snacks to munch on when Zach's message came in.

I asked Bas. "No, thank you," he said with his head buried inside his book. "I wonder what you are reading in there," I mumbled and hoped he didn't hear me. I hate walking alone; it makes me feel lonely. But Bas didn't want to come with

Chapter 15 ANELLE'S POV "Who the fuck are you talking to?" I heard a feminine voice scream at Ava, and I knew it was her girlfriend. "We will talk later, necklace," Ava said and hung up. I chuckled because she called me necklace. I wasn't going to tell her my name, and until now, she still doesn't know my real name and still calls me Necklace. We accidentally entered the same college but chose different courses. I think she's pursuing a career in the arts. We've been talking since and even kissed once, not minding the fact that she had a girlfriend. Although I felt a little guilty and told her not to do such a thing again because she has a girlfriend. But every time I see her, flashbacks of the kiss always come to me. I'm trying my best to forget, but it seems impossible. She comes to my class to see me sometimes, and it makes me uncomfortable because I'm getting to like her, but she has a girlfriend. Today, she came to visit me, and I was going to do my best
